Need help with a 68 Corvette
Hello, this may sound like an odd question, but would it be possible for someone on here with a 68 Vette to post the dimensions of their rear courtsey lamp? I'll explain after - Thanks

It's the lamp that would have been in the sail panels, so they may have only been in the coupes, or possibly relocated in the convertibles?

I don't see them on the converts but they may have been moved down on the side panels somewhere. Normally they would be right about where the anchor point is on a sail panel for a three pt seat belt.

Just measured my 68 coupe's rear courtesy lamps: 5 inches top to bottom. 1 1/2 inch side to side.

Only 68 coupes used that type of courtesy, or "dome" lamp, 68 convertibles didn't have them. As you stated, they were mounted in the roof side portion of the interior quarter trim panels, one on each side. Not only were these only used in coupes, but they were also only used in 68. 69-early 76 coupes and convertibles used a single dome lamp mounted to the center of the storage area rear bulkhead.
